This painter, who was no great craftsman, caused Mecherino to learn all that he could not himself teach him from designs by eminent painters that he had in his possession, of which he availed himself for his own purposes, as those masters are wont to do who are not very able in design.
Exercising his hand, therefore, in this manner, Mecherino gave promise of being destined to become an excellent painter.
